Big'Un Charters is your winning ticket for a day of making memories in the great outdoors of Apalachicola, Florida. Captain Greg 'Big'Un' Kembro is your guide for the day, and you can count on him to show you a great time in this little piece of paradise. Bring the kids, grandparents, and pets – everyone is more than welcome aboard!

Your trip will take place aboard a spacious 24' Proline dual console boat, which provides a stable fishing platform for both large and smaller groups. It's powered by a single 250 HP Evinrude engine that can reach a top speed of an impressive 45 knots. It's a versatile vessel that is great for both fishing inshore as well as heading offshore when Red Snapper season hits.

Some of the fish species you'll find in the inshore waters include the likes of Redfish, Seatrout, Tripletail, and Red Snapper (when in season). If you decide to head further out, you can look forward to Kingfish, Cobia, Sheepshead, and Red Snapper (when in season). Capt. Greg will do his best to tailor the trip to your individual needs and fishing preferences.

He will also provide you with all the necessary gear you'll need for the trip, including rods, reels, and terminal tackle. The only thing you need to do is pack a pair of polarized sunglasses, along with some drinks and snacks if you're so inclined. After that, you'll be ready to jump aboard and make some memories together!

    Great Family Trip!!

    Half Day Trip on July 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Gregg landed us on the trout! Despite the heat, we fished our hearts out, managed to fill the cooler and had two happy children smiling from ear to ear! We hoped to hook a shark, but we made memories with a great captain instead!

    Great Fishin!

    Half Day Trip on March 11, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Greg is incredibly talented. Every time he threw his line he’d reel something in! Just incredible. He also shared some awesome stories about St. George, Appalachia, and other surrounding areas with my 90 yr old grandfather and we just had the best time! What a fantastic trip! Thanks Captain Greg!

    Big fish and avoided the storms

    3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on July 15, 2024 • 4 adults

    We went out on a day when there was a chance of storms, we did have to move around some, but we were always reeling in fish. Caught a bunch of red grouper but was a bit too small to keep, the one grouper that was big enough was a black and wasn’t in season. Caught a few nice mahi mahi, and 2 really big red snapper. Made pretty quick work of getting a variety of sizes of bait, even some live shrimp was caught. All we used was the big bait.

    Great trip with our grandkids today!

    Half Day Trip on July 17, 2024 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a great time today with Captain Kembro with three boys from 9-17, my son and son in law! We caught over 100 trout, several sharks, and two flounder. Captain put us on fish at each stop. He also did a wonderful job keeping us safe with storms and lightning threatening us throughout the half day trip. Can’t wait to come back and go “catching” again!

    Half day trip with Capt. Greg

    Half Day Trip on May 29, 2023 • 6 adults

    Ignore the goofball who wrote the review back in April, Greg knows what he’s doing. Took 3 HS boys and 2 adults on the half day morning trip and had a blast. Probably caught around 100 smaller to medium sized fish and everyone had a good time. Tried to move a little further out past the bay and didn’t as well but that’s the way it goes. Would absolutely go with Mr Greg again.

Capt. Greg is the best!
Full Day Trip on June 1, 20263 adults

Fishing with Capt. Greg was an amazing experience! We fished all day, and he had us on fish at every spot we visited. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had a great time. Even though the fishing forecast wasn’t looking very promising, Capt. Greg made it happen. We caught well over 100 fish and had an absolute blast. Highly recommend booking a trip with him! 🎣🐟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a third generation Captain and I have a son that is the 4th generation fisherman now. I have a great love for the outdoors that God has given us to enjoy, and the best office in the world. Sometimes it's hot or wet or cold but it's still the best office! I love to fish with people, some I have been fishing with for 35/40 years, some are out on their first trip in the saltwater! I love to see children go out for their first trip, and there are those that have been with me many times who now bring their children. I wish I could make every day a great weather day, but I am not that good so I do try to make every day a great experience. Come see me and let's make some memories together!
